MAGNETIC LEVEL TECHNOLOGIES - Orion …

1 MAGNETIC LEVEL TECHNOLOGIESENGINEERED THROUGH INNOVATION UNPARALLELED TECHNOLOGY WITH UNCOMPROMISING 2001, Orion Instruments set a course to raise the standards by which MAGNETIC LEVEL indicators (MLIs) are viewed. As a subsidiary of Magnetrol International - a company whose LEVEL and flow solutions have been trusted worldwide for more than 80 years - Orion s products are engineered and manufactured under the same strict and unyielding standards.

2 A wide range of non- MAGNETIC materials such as stainless steel, exotic alloys, and plastics are available for indicator consists of a series of stationary flags, also called flippers, that spin 180 degrees to a contrasting color as the float passes. This allows the indicator to display a bar-graph style representation of liquid LEVEL . FLAGINDICATOR TYPES SHUTTLE LED INDICATORA shuttle consists of a fluorescent orange follower that magnetically couples to the float and travels the length of the indicator. Shuttles offer a localized representation of the liquid LEVEL while flags can provide color along the entire measuring Optix high-visibility LED indicator is available for low-light conditions.

3 At 24 VDC, it can be powered by an existing 4-20 mA INDICATORS Indicators provide a high-contrast visual representation of the liquid LEVEL . Orion s Reveal is unsurpassed in the industry by providing ultra wide flags visible from a distance of 200 ft (61 m). More on Visual Indicators on pg. 5 CHAMBERINDICATOR3A MAGNETIC LEVEL INDICATOR (MLI) CONSISTS OF 3 MAJOR COMPONENTS: Chamber Float IndicatorHOW IT WORKSAn MLI chamber is securely mounted in-line to a process vessel. A MAGNETIC float, contained within the chamber, tracks the surface of the liquid as the LEVEL rises and falls.

4 A flag or shuttle-style indicator is actuated by the float s MAGNETIC field, providing a high-visibility LEVEL representation. Switches, transmitters, and other accessories can be added as an enhancement to create a total LEVEL control mounted MAGNETIC LEVEL switches expand control capabilities of MLIs. These can be used as latching LEVEL alarms or LEVEL controls by sensing the position of the float in the chamber. Orion offers electric switches as well as and designed to solve each LEVEL application, the Orion float is the science behind accurate MAGNETIC LEVEL measurement.

5 Size, volume, weight, buoyant force, and construction techniques are variables carefully considered before each float is manufactured. More on Orion floats on pg. 6 Loop powered LEVEL transmitters expand the functionality of a MAGNETIC LEVEL indicator by providing process data back to the control room. See transmitters: Eclipse (pg. 8) & Jupiter (pg. 9)The Orion Instruments team designs and engineers custom chamber configurations with stainless steel or special alloy materials in order to meet the needs of the application. Our goal is to ensure that our clients exact design and material requirements are Instruments provides extruded outlet process connections as a standard.

(60m) Orion s innovative wide flag indicator greatly increases visibility by providing a clear LEVEL representation at more than twice the viewing distance over standard MAGNETIC LEVEL indicators (MLIs).

7 The metal flag construction within a 316 SS enclosure guarantees durability even in the most corrosive environments. REVEAL s unique flag design, channel assembly, and shatter-resistant viewing window deliver reliability, as well as increased safety. Flag and shuttle indicators are sealed and purged with nitrogen gas to avoid condensation buildup inside the indication assembly (IP66/68).REVEAL is standard on Atlas , Aurora , and Gemini MAGNETIC LEVEL valve enables an effective dry nitrogen purge for a hermetic metallic flag, with a powder coated or anodized finish, offers greater visibility due to its wide and shatter-resistant window is constructed of high-strength polycarbonate.

8 Its patent-pending design enhances visibility and allows the flags to position closely to the MLI chamber, reinforcing the coupling visible wide flag indicator incorporates a positive-stop design, which limits the rotation of each flag to a half-turn. INSTASEAL HIGH VISIBILITY INDICATORTMFLAGSVIEWING WINDOWMECHANICAL POSITIVE-STOP5 The float is the most important element of MAGNETIC LEVEL technology. Its structural design, weight, and buoyancy force are all carefully considered when being engineered for an application. Orion engineers have gathered data on thousands of floats in order to properly apply the right design depending on the float accurately tracks the surface of the liquid as it rises or falls.

9 The same principle is applied to interface LEVEL measurement. The MAGNETIC assembly inside the float generates a MAGNETIC field through the MLI chamber wall to couple with the indicator flags. Pressures from full vacuum to 5,000 PSI (310 bar) @ 100 F (38 C). Temperatures from -320 F (-196 C) to 1,000 F (538 C). Specific gravities as low as Total and interface LEVEL measurement available. Can be used on MLIs with chambers as thick as schedule XXS. Available in Hastelloy C-276, stainless steel, titanium, Monel , Inconel , Alloy 20, fiberglass and various durable plastics.
